About this listen

A timeless classic of Christian mysticism, now available in clear, contemporary English.

Dark Night of the Soul is the most celebrated work of Saint John of the Cross and a masterpiece of spiritual literature. In this brief but profound treatise, the author offers a powerful account of the soul’s journey through inner purification and surrender, leading to union with the divine. Rich in symbolism and theological insight, the text has become essential reading for those drawn to the depths of the contemplative path.

This edition presents the full text in modern English, translated from a carefully updated Spanish version of the 16th-century original. This two-step process ensures both accuracy and readability, preserving the depth, beauty, and intensity of the original while making it accessible to today’s readers. Free from footnotes or commentary, it offers a direct and unmediated encounter with one of the most luminous voices in the Western mystical tradition.

For those seeking a deeper study of the work, an extensively annotated edition is also available, with detailed historical, cultural, and biographical notes. For more information and to download generous excerpts, visit www.gongarola.com/en
